The grain size, and therefore the grain boundary density, is known to play a major role in the
flow stress of metallic materials. A linear relationship to the inverse of the square root of the …

Magnesium (Mg) alloys have several advantages, such as low density, high specific strength
and biocompatibility. However, they also suffer weak points, such as high corrosion, low …

In addition to grain size, the mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of magnesium
alloys depend on other factors such as texture, distribution of alloying elements, and …

Water-repellent and interfacial non-wetting superhydrophobicity has great potential to
address corrosion/icing-induced material-deterioration problems. Herein, an all-organic …

An equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) process is used to obtain a fine-grain
magnesium-gadolinium-silver alloy, and hierarchical precipitates embedded in the fine …

Abstract The Repeated Upsetting (RU) as a powerful severe plastic deformation technique
to produce fine-grained thick plates was investigated in the present research. The evolution …

High-pressure torsion (HPT) can refine the microstructure and consequently modify the
properties, such as mechanical and corrosion properties, of Mg and its alloys …

Recent studies show significant advances in improving the mechanical properties of
magnesium and its alloys. While many papers deal with different alloy compositions, it is …

There has been a great interest in evaluating the potential of severe plastic deformation
(SPD) to improve the performance of magnesium for biological applications. However …

Severe plastic deformation through high-pressure torsion is used to refine the grain structure
of the Mg–Al–Zn alloy down to~ 140 nm and low temperature annealing is used to produce …
